Milk in Nepal and India: the difference!

-
Image
 I have observed that whenever milk ferments when I am in India, the paneer or cottage cheese does not come out easily. Even if I boil it and add lime juice to it, the cheese formed is quite little and more powdery than cheesy.  But when the same happens in Nepal, the cheese formation is immediate, dense and cheesy. I do not have to do more efforts to get cottage cheese out of the milk in Nepal. What is the reason? I checked internet and found some factors that can affect the quality and amount of cheese  1. Freedom from pathogenic bacteria - Good cheese forms of milk is free from pathogenic bacteria. Differences between Nepali vs Indian panipuri  2. Different milk quality with different amounts of fats and proteins  3. Ultra-pasteurization can destroy vital enzymes and bacteria that are required for cheese formation  4. If temperature of milk is less when it ferments, cheese formation will be less.  5. If milk is rancid, it means it's fats are also br...

Victoria Beckham and Robbie Williams had high mercury levels in their blood! What are the signs and reasons of mercury poisoning?

-

 British singer Victoria Beckham learned the hard way that eating too much fish daily was not good for her body and brain. Last year, Victoria was found to have high levels of mercury in her body and hence was advised to cut down on her fish consumption. Reports state that fish have mercury in them and consumption of too much fish in the daily food could lead to mercury poisoning in the eater. The case was seen in Victoria and she has since reduced fish in her food, a source revealed.

Victoria Beckham and her mercury poisoning

The wife of the legendary football player from the UK, David Beckham, singer Victoria Beckham used to consume a lot of fish in her daily meals. The Spice Girl member loved having fish and also was on a vegetarian diet. But last year, doctors found high levels of mercury in her body and have advised reducing fish in her food.

Last year, Victoria was at the posh Lanserhof health spa in Germany. At that time, tests done on her revealed high levels of the toxic metal mercury in her body. Since the source of this mercury is most likely from fish, she has to stop eating excessively of it. A source told The Sun UK:

“Victoria had off the scale levels of mercury,”

The insider added:

“So doctors gave her a liver flush to help rid the body of toxins.”

But the source said that the former Spice Girl is still having a lot of fish but she has stopped the intake of tuna and swordfish. These two types of fish presumably have high levels of methylmercury in them. The source said:

“She feels brilliant and is as lean and fit as ever,”

Robbie Williams, the rocker also told Radio X Network that he also had toxic levels of mercury in his body following his pescatarian diet. He said:

“I was eating fish twice a day and I’ve got the highest mercury poisoning the doctor has ever seen,”

What is mercury poisoning?

Mercury in high levels is toxic for the body cells. It can kill them and hence is dangerous for the body. It can cause irritability, depression, memory loss, and also numbness. In some, when the levels reach toxic levels it can cause tremors, blindness, kidney failure and is even fatal. Hence it should be avoided and if found to be high in the body, appropriate treatment should be sought.

Morton's toe: Everything you need to know about your longer second toe

-
Image
 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at ...

There can be no universal forgiveness! It never exists!

-
Image
Forgiveness or pardon means clearing off the feelings of resentment or revenge towards the offender. In most contexts it implies giving up any expectation of justice. People justify this act of forgiveness from a religious point of view and psychologists justify it as an act that would bring peace to the victim. But my experience tells me that both religion as well as psychologists are absolutely wrong in asking a victim to forgive the evil person. This act is bad from a society point of view and would lead to a rise in crimes and unhappiness. Let me explain in depth with examples. 1. I have a friend in the UK. She is originally from Nigeria. She has two siblings who are married with children and she herself is single and childless. In the year 2009, she had gone to her hometown. There her siblings tortured her physically and mentally and put her under house arrest. They did not want to give her any ancestral property and assets. She managed to free herself with the help of a friend an...

Voluntary childlessness is on the rise in the world! What are the reasons for it?

-

 The decision of couples to have no children by choice seems tough but is increasing in the modern world. Though society looks down at such couples, the availability of effective and safe contraception and old age support from non-family agencies has made things a bit easier for such decisions to be made.  Reasons for voluntary childlessness 1. Personal reasons such as not wanting responsibilities of a child.  2. The emphasis on career rather than reproduction 3. The lack of desire to forward one's family genes or line due to child abuse.  4. Anguish against existence in general. 5. Non-readiness to give up one's freetime and social time for children rearing 6. Happier to help others raise kids 7. Preferring a pet over a child 8. Not wanting to give up personal space and sharing it with a child.  9. Not happy with child-rearing things such as cleaning up mess, disturbing one's sleep etc. 10. Not particularly fond of children behavior. 11. In some situations, one...
